Applying aqua fortis

[billd]

    A simple question I never thought about till today....I'm ready to stain my ash stock and from experimenting with scraps I know it's going to take 2 coats to get it dark enough for my liking.
    Do I put on a coat, let it dry and heat it, then repeat? Or do I put on a coat, let it dry and then apply a second coat before heating it only once?
    The darker the better, I'm out of scrap pieces.

Thanks,
Bill

When staining maple, I apply, let dry, heat, and then repeat the process.  You can darken it to some extent with further applications, but the rest is up to that particular piece of wood.  I've never seen ash stained with aqf, please post some photos when you're done.

Eric,   AF works well with ash, at least the two pieces I've done.  I'm using my home brewed stuff on this one and I should have left it a little stronger. I'll send pictures when it's done.

Heat in between coats.  What did you do on your scrap pieces?

My home made stuff works good on oak.
